Problem 2-24A Multiple Departments; Applying Overhead [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3, LO2-7]

High Desert Potteryworks makes a variety of pottery products that it sells to retailers such as Home Depot. The company uses a job-order costing system in which predetermined overhead rates are used to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in the Molding Department is based on machine-hours, and the rate in the Painting Department is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company's management made the following estimates:

Department
Molding Painting
Direct labor-hours 33,500 56,500
Machine-hours 86,000 39,000
Direct materials cost $190,000 $200,000
Direct labor cost $273,000 $522,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $197,800 $474,600
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $5.00

Job 205 was started on August 1 and completed on August 10. The company's cost records show the following information concerning the job:

Department
Molding Painting
Direct labor-hours 81 127
Machine-hours 390 72
Materials placed into production $944 $1,120
Direct labor cost $700 $970
